Peace Needs a Prince

We feel Such offense when We look upon hatred And its deadly applications, Evil That keeps Peace just a dream We come to see what works And we judge those who seek to play War games. But when Hurt by someone Personally, those friends That you have cared about, helped and Defend Because You felt perhaps They were misunderstood And one fine day, they turn on you And use The steps You took for them, Against you, in a logic Of their own, that respects not Your gift Shaken By the feeling Of betrayal even When you know, a gift is given Freely The pain Cuts deep, tearing The heart apart, bleeding And your hopes for peace strongly Lessens. You find That the conflicts In our world has taken Wider proportion, peace further At bay. Until The sun comes out Clears the clouds in your heart Restoring faith, hope and the love Inside. Please God The only one Who can show us the way To peace is your son whom many Await. By CarolineCécile Copyright © 05.02.11

Dear Caroline, I know how it feels to experience betrayal from those you trusted. The pseudo-friends have surfaced too often. It's hard to know whom we can trust. Putting your life in God's hands is the only option sometimes. Just know that I will never betray you. You've been a wonderful friend to me and I appreciate all you've done to offer comfort in times of need. It doesn't appear there is much that can be done to help me now aside from prayer. Perhaps I'll try to call you. Love, CD
